lo.. Come on. Fournette is legitimately fast as **** and a pretty good receiving option out of the backfield. He's not going to be out there running the whole route tree but he's fine as a pass catcher.

I can't decide!

Fournette is not Andy's type, Christian McCaffrey is Reid's type.

This...why not just see what Bam Morris is doing now...makes about as much sense.

If McCaffrey really was on the trading block for a 2nd/3rd the Chiefs should have jumped all over it. Trading Damien Williams and a 3rd to the Panthers for McCaffrey would have been a huge get.

Fournette, no thanks.

Listening to the radio all morning here in Jax. They're pretty much saying he's gone from the team. Hoping to get a 3rd rounder for him at best. That's a definite yes if they could get him that cheap. His salary is only $4M.

Wow, you really are a stupid ****.

If you believe bringing in a trash rb like Fournette behind that trash interior Ol, improves anything, then you really ought to watch who youre calling a naive fool.

The trash interior ol, and the failed Lesean McCoy experiment had more of an impact on Damien making big plays than lack of talent on his part.

Or maybe 11 playoff TDs including the ones to take the lead, and lock up the superbowl arent good enough consistent plays for you.

Instead of posting this dumb shit, go play a game of hide and go **** yourself.

Isn't that stat affected by our offenses' propensity to pass?

We are fine with him at RB. Shut up about bringing in another, and for pete's sake don't even mention that Kareem guy again.

We are set right now. If it ain't broke and got us to our first SB appearance and win in 50 years, then DON'T FIX IT.

:facepalm:

Williams, who will be 28 years old to start the season, has 1,200 yards and 12 TD's in SIX NFL SEASONS.

He was only available for six regular season games last year. He went undrafted out of Oklahoma because he was injured there, as well. There is NO WAY the Chiefs should enter the 2020 season with him as their Feature Back.

"Highlight video". Good grief.

I suppose that makes sense.

Florio has a system ...

Crap. Wall. Stickiness?

Why would we trade for an expensive 2 year rental?

Hell NO!

You can't count on guys that have bounced around the league and are available at Vet Minimum to make major contributions.

That said, there are exactly zero scenarios in which Leonard Fournette should be a Chief.

None, zip, nada.

Draft a RB every few years in round 3 or 4. Sign promising FAs for cheap. We have no business giving up a lot of capital - either draft picks or money - for a position that doesn't correlate strongly to success.

The Patriots spent their first round pick in 2018 on Sony Michel and have won one of two Super Bowl appearances since.

The Patriots also traded a 2nd Round pick for Corey Dillon and won a Super Bowl with him as well.

The Chiefs need a feature back that can stay healthy for 19 games a season and maybe even 20, something they don't currently have on their roster.

I'm cool with Damien sitting on the bench until the postseason. That dude goes ****ing nuts for whatever reason
